There are a variety of psychological, cognitive and social factors that contribute to in-flight interactions between crew members, and in order to achieve optimal communication and safety levels during flight, the concept of Crew Resource Management has become increasingly important. Crew Resource Management refers to effective teamwork that requires both efficient and effective communication of pertinent information between the flight deck, cabin crew members and those not on the aircraft, but responsible for critical flight information and organization. The concept has been adapted from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration workshop in 1979 which identified various factors common amongst aviation accidents, including poor team leadership, failure to adequately delegate tasks and inadequate computer monitoring. Future implications of Crew Resource Management have extended to online training sessions to improve communication, and principles have also expanded into the fields of dentistry and medicine.<br />Jillian Avishttp://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/invoke/article/view/16194Fri, 04 May 2012 15:15:08 -0600Discovering the AIDS virus: Scientific Progress through the Interaction of Human and Non-Human Actantshttp://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/invoke/article/view/16470
<p>The notion that science progresses through the actions of scientists on a nature characterized as passive is hardly new to most. While scholars like Thomas Kuhn have challenged the concept of science as one of progression others such as Bruno Latour have challenged and continue to challenge the idea of nature as passive. Focusing on the discovery HIV in the Pasteur Institute this paper will further challenge the way in which science is viewed as progressing by illustrating the unacknowledged factor of chance in the discovery. Finally, through use of Latour’s theoretical contributions, the interaction of human and non-human actants in the process of discovery illuminate the inadequacies of viewing nature as an order <em>revealed</em> by scientists and the constructivist view that nature is <em>ordered </em>by scientists.</p>Stefan Paul Dehodhttp://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/invoke/article/view/16470Fri, 04 May 2012 19:06:37 -0600High Class Prostitution is the New Blackhttp://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/invoke/article/view/16565
<p>This paper attempts to dissolve the issue of prostitution, which is still framed as a radical feminist issue pertaining to gender inequality and the vulnerability women face in such a career; rather, the idea post feminists (pro-prostitution feminists) hold believe prostitution, and more specifically, high class (call girl) prostitution is an empowering, positive and liberating occupation that women should be freely allowed to enter without stigmatization. We look at numerous women who have provided positive accounts of their lives as high end prostitutes, even when beholding university educations and Ph.Ds. After extensive secondary data collection to support these women’s experiences, we find high end prostitution can in fact empower, build confidence in, and gratify women.</p><p> </p>Diana Cervanteshttp://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/invoke/article/view/16565Sun, 06 May 2012 21:18:38 -0600
